#ルチア Lutia

[greetings-inferiors]

Damn I knew that in the past pokemon and Pokémon characters’ names’ were different in English and Japanese but I didn’t realise they were still so different

Iono/ナンジャモ(nanjamo)’s name is a pun in both Japanese and English, in English it’s meant to sound like “I dunno”, and in Japanese it’s meant to sound like “ナンジャモジャ” which apparently means “what is it?”, so it makes sense that it is translated.

Lisia/ルチア(Lutia (I thought it was luchia but lutia makes more sense lmao))’s Japanese name apparently comes from ハオルチア(Haworthia (pronounced haoruchia), a type of plant, but apparently in English they just changed it to make it sound better for English ears instead of keeping the reference. It was just strange because lisia and ruchia (Ls and Rs are the same in Japanese) are so different even though they weren’t even trying to change her name much.

Anyway sorry about derailing this post to talk about names I’m sure names are changed in the English translation all the time it’s just still new to me to have different names for the same person
